Photography I: Introduction to DSLR Photography

This event has been cancelled. If you have any questions, please contact the event planner directly.

Summary

Do you own a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera but don’t know everything it can do? Wouldn’t it be great to use some of your camera’s many features to take better pictures? If you answered “yes” to either question, this course is for you. Over four class sessions, you can learn about photo composition, shutter speed, lighting considerations, aperture, depth of field, and other factors that go into capturing that perfect image. Through a series of class discussions and practice sessions, along with weekly assignments, you can learn to use your DSLR camera with a greater degree of confidence and ability. You can learn from instructors from the media arts programs in a supportive and productive environment.

This is an introductory yet comprehensive course, designed for beginners as well as those with existing knowledge. Only basic computer skills are needed, but you must have your own DSLR camera with instructions, and you should be somewhat familiar with it already. You will also need your own 16GB or larger flash drive to store images.

This course is appropriate for ages 16+ and is recommended as a precursor to Photography II: Enhanced DSLR Basics and Image Management.
